Doggone Brooklyn. With their Oracle and their 826NYC (NOT 826Brooklyn, so how come THEY get to host it?) and their damned difficult to navigate at 2 a.m. subway system. So what do they have on their plate next? Only the Brooklyn Book Festival, the hottest ticket in town and one filled to o'erflowing with children's authors. Don't believe me? Check out these stats:

Holly Black

Ann Brashares

Libby Bray

Barbara Ensor

Paula Fox (I can't believe they actually got her)

Patric McDonnell

Kirsten Miller

last but not least...

Mo Willems

And that's just the children/teen authors. Of course more children/teen authors live in Brooklyn than any other city in America. Doesn't mean I'm any less envious, though.
